1st live [video/action] - new bark town

[femininity]

[ as the device's screen turns on, you're treated to the sight of two ralts. they don't seem to be doing anything in particular, but that's enough to inspire makoto to pull out of her device. this thing takes pictures, right? she's not entirely sure, but if it's a phone, it's gotta have that kind of function!

so while she fiddles with her device, inadvertently turning it on, she calls out to another person. ]

Hey, Ryo! Ryo! Look! They're cute, aren't they?

[Another voice gives a light giggle at Makoto's excitement. When she's excited like this, even Ryo can't stay worried about their predicament!]

You really like them, don't you Makoto-san...? Though, to be honest, I think they're more "cool" than "cute".

Really? [ no, they definitely look cute to her. she stares a bit longer, before quietly deciding to herself that they're definitely more "cute" than "cool". but more importantly... ]

Oh! I think this is recording. [ uh... whoops? she turns her device so it's facing ryo, figuring they should give their audience something more than two cute pokemon rolling around. ] Um... quick, say something!

Eh?! Why me?!

[Ryo's shocked face takes up the entire screen. What do?! All right, back up back up... Okay, much better. Well, "something" was kinda vague, and arguing with Makoto is something Ryo doesn't want to do, so... A greeting, maybe? That's pretty basic. Time to flash a bright smile!]

Umm... H-How do you do? I'm Ryo Akizuki. I'm an idol from 876 Productions, though I don't think it really matters right now... With me, is, um... [Ryo tries to discreetly whisper, though it's pretty audible.] Makoto-san, maybe you should say something too?

[ at those words, maktoo turns the camera around so that she's the one on screen now. ]

I'm Makoto Kikuchi, from 765 Production! If I have any fans here, I don't mind giving autographs! [ she laughs a bit as she says it, making clear that she's just joking. she's hardly that popular yet. ] But anyways... it's nice to meet you!

[ she nods, satisfied by the message, before turning back to Ryo. she thinks the message has ended now, though obviously it hasn't... ]

That was good, right?

[Ryo nods, satisfied.]

Yes! You're amazing as always. [Though anything Makoto does is amazing to Ryo---] Hm? It looks like... you might have left it on.

Eh? No, I made sure I... ack, you're right!

[ makoto fumbles around with the device a bit before finally, this time successfully, turning it off. ]

[extremelycute]

Real idols, huh? So, are you two a couple? Wait, you said you were from different companies...

[...]

Secretly dating, then?

[video]

[gyaooon]

[This would be a good time for a spittake if Ryo had a drink in hand.]

GYAOOOON! Y-You're mistaken! Makoto-san and I aren't like that at all! [NOT THIS AGAIN---]

[video]

[extremelycute]

GYAOOOON! Gyaon! Gyaoonga!

That's a funny noise.

[video]

[gyaooon]

H-Hey, it's not nice to make fun of people...

[SOB. Ryo can't believe that being bullied by some kid would be possible. This is pathetic...]

Er... Anyway! Makoto-san and I aren't dating! We're... We're both girls, after all! [YEAH. TOTALLY. This is truth!!]

[video]

[extremelycute]

Are you sure Makoto's a girl? I don't want to be the bearer of bad news and all that, but...I kinda have my doubts.

[video]

[gyaooon]

D-Don't say that out loud! You'll upset her!

[Ryo felt bad when he made Makoto nearly cry due to mistaking her for guy! That can't happen again...]

Anyway, I'm really sure. Makoto-san is a girl! You should see her when she's onstage... The costumes she wears are really cute. [That and Ryo may have touched her boobies by accident.]

[video]

[extremelycute]

It'll be fine, don't worry.

[Though, that brings up an excellent point.]

Though, if she's really a girl, that doesn't mean you can't date her, you know.

[She's an expert on these things.]

So, you think Makoto-"chan" is cute, then?

[video]

[gyaooon]

Eeeeeek...

[This is getting into really dangerous territory!]

J-Just because I think Makoto-san can be cute doesn't mean I want to date her! Where are you even getting these ideas?!

[video]

[extremelycute]

Oh, man, you really can't see it? There's a lot of chemistry, you know. More than brother and sister...more than sister and sister...but will their separate companies tear them apart?!

Tragic Love Story Monorail: Ryo and Makoto's Undestiny...Or Not?!

[video]

[gyaooon]

... First of all, our companies have a really good relationship.

[Just so you know.]

A-Anyway, as for the chemistry thing... It's probably just because Makoto-san is my senpai. Like a mentor or something... Yeah.

[video]

[extremelycute]

Huh.

That all sounds really normal. Don't you have any imagination?

[video]

[femininity]

[ ahah... haha... hah...... she tries her best to keep a smile on her face as she answers, though given how clearly ryo is a girl she can only assume that means... this person is confusing her for a guy... ]

Wh, what are you talking about? We can't be dating. We're both girls!

[ duh.................. ]

Where'd you get an idea like that?

[video]

[extremelycute]

Are you sure you're a girl? ...Nah, you can't fool me. You're definitely a boy.

[...A really handsome one.]

[video]

[femininity]

I'm definitely a-!

[ wait, no makoto, calm down. right. there's a better approach here! all you have to do is prove it and you'll be in the clear. that shouldn't be too hard.

so with great flourish, she gives a smile and wink while trying to pose in as feminine a way as possible. ]

Kyaaa~☆ See? I'm a girl!

[video]

[extremelycute]

Ah, so you're an idol that does impressions, Makoto-kun? I'm gonna be an idol, too!

[video]

[femininity]

It's not an impression!

[video]

[femininity]

[ sigh. but okay. she has to keep her cool. it's not like this girl is trying to offend her. ]

Oh, really? You want to be an idol too? It might look easy, but it's actually pretty hard work!

[video]

[extremelycute]

[Ignoring the first part. She's never spoken to an idol--oh, wait, she travels with Azusa.]

You're the second idol I've met. The first one makes it look really easy, though...though mine aren't as big as hers. I can do a standing backflip, though!

[video]

[femininity]

The second one? [ oh, that's curious. but then again, it's not like idols are really that rare. the odds that it's someone she actually knows are pretty slim. ]

Big, huh... [ still no idea what she's talking about, though makoto doesn't want to admit it. ] But if you can do a backflip, you must be pretty athletic. [ at least that she gets. ] If you really want to be an idol, maybe you could do it!

[ the last thing she's going to do is get in the way of someone's dream... ]

If you try your best, that's what counts!

[video]

[extremelycute]

Yeah! Azumoo's pretty big around here. And everywhere.

[But enough about that! All this stuff about trying is boring.] Do you want to see me do one!? It's really easy! I can do all of that trying stuff later.

[video]

[femininity]

Azumoo...? [ for some reason that sets off warning bells in her mind, but she can't quite place it. ]

Alright! Show me. [ a backflip, huh? ...makoto could probably do a backflip, but she doesn't want to steal the girl's thunder. ] Oh, but be careful. You can hurt yourself doing stuff like that.

[video]

[extremelycute]

Azumoo! That's her nickname! I forgot her real one. Anyways, feast your eyes on this!!!

[She sets her gear down and moves to the center of the screen.]

Ready, and...!

[video]

[extremelycute]

...Go!

[And here it comes...!]

[video]

[extremelycute]

[...the inevitable failure! It's a fumble! Houston, we have a--!]

[video]

[extremelycute]

...The gear gets knocked over by her Riolu. End feed.]
